Post Card Saturday! (May-Elizabeth #8)

Tomorrow is the last day to enter for the free drawing! Go down four posts and leave a comment to be entered!  :D

Yes, that time again - Post Card Saturday! And not just that, the last of the May and Elizabeth Series. Still no idea what May was doing tooling around the South, or who Elizabeth was in relation to her, but it's been a fun ride, I think.

So let's get to it, shall we? May is once again on the road. This week's first postcard finds her in Chattanooga, TN, just a few days after the last postcard from last week. Up top is the front, of course. Here's the detail.

The full back.

And the message:
Thursday, April 4th
Am leaving Chattanooga this afternoon for Knoxville -- will not know my next stop until I see what I do there.
May

Hmmm... interesting. 

This postcard is dated eleven days later and is from Charlotte, North Carolina. The front up there.

The detail of where she is:

Here's the back.

The message:
Thursday, April 15th
It is very windy here to-day -- hope they do not stage a Cyclone for my benefit. Glad I am in no little frame house. 
May

Now - this postcard was written and sent *4* years before the Wizard of Oz movie came out! The books had been out long before, of course. Or maybe it was just an observation, lol. Who knows, but I thought it interesting.

And - click "Read More" for the last one of the day, and the series...

Also in North Carollina, but this time in Winston-Salem. Just over and hour's drive, so not a huge distance, Dated two weeks later...

Here's the detail of the card:

All of the back.

The message itself:

Monday, April 29
These buildings are adjacent to that Moravian Graveyard -- at sunrise Easter morning the Bishop comes from the Church, and, as the sun rises, says Christ is Risen, and they have wonderful music.
May

April of 1935 was on Sunday, April 21st, so does that mean May was there for this service? Again, yet another unanswered question about the whole circumstance.

There we have it though. Eight weeks of this series, and to say it's been intriguing is an understatement. At a time when the only long distance way to keep in touch regularly were cards and letters, we've been given a little glimpse into a relationship between two women of the era. Clearly May wasn't your typical woman of the time, or so it seems. But again, there is no way to know for sure, at least not at the moment. If I can think of a way, I'll see about doing some more research, and let you all know.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this look into the past as much as I did. Next week - another postcard!

Thanks!
